Beat the heat at the Fifth Annual Christmas in July Arts and Crafts Fair July 13-14 The
City of Tyler Parks and Recreation Department will host the Fifth Annual
Christmas in July Arts and Crafts Fair at the Rose Garden Center Saturday, July
13 and Sunday, July 14. The Fair will feature
58 booths offering unique, fun, artsy and just plain cute items for sale.

This free event will be held indoors, in the air
conditioned comfort of the Rose Garden Center at 420 Rose Park Drive. Hours are
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

"This event is important to the Parks Department because
it is a fund raiser to help cover the cost of our free programing that is
provided during the year to the citizens of Tyler," said Debbie Isham, special events/recreation manager.

This one-of-a-kind event is sure to please any shopper
who is looking for quality handmade items for gifts, as well as for themselves.
It is a great event for early Christmas shoppers to find stocking stuffers or
gifts to put under the tree. Shoppers can purchase handmade crafts, unique
jewelry, knives, wood crafts and wood inlay, leather craft, goats milk soap,
organic body products, doll clothing, photography, fine art and mixed media
art, crosses and much more.

Shoppers can also enjoy the sounds of the holidays early
with scheduled live entertainment. Santa is even flying in just for this event
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Concessions will
be served by Gabi's Gourmet.

During the event, the Rose Garden will be open and is
free to visit. The Garden features the
largest public collection of roses in the United States with 32,000 bushes and
600 cultivars.

It sounds just like the plot line of a television show- a woman naked and afraid, lost in remote woods. But Lisa Theris’ journey back to civilization was real life and a real struggle that lasted a month in Bullock County.
